Found a workaround for junk discovery demands that actually saved us 30 hours
A few years back, I was stuck on a case where the other side kept piling on thousands of irrelevant documents during discovery. My paralegal and I spent weeks just sorting through emails about office birthday parties and lunch orders. Then I tried a trick I heard from an old partner: send a meet and confer letter that specifically lists each demand's burden and asks for a protective order with billing estimates attached. It forced a judge to narrow things down fast. Has anyone else gotten a court to push back on this kind of fishing expedition?

Heard a friend got a similar order after showing the judge a binder full of birthday party emails.

Yeah the binder thing worked for my buddy too. Crazy but true.
